People keep shitting all over the Patriots defense, but they have 8 sacks in the two games and have been playing MUCH better. Still not a great defense by any stretch, but with the Pats offense playing indoors, they don't have to do too much.

McCourty on Cruz
Arrington on Nicks
Moore on Manningham

If the Pats get pressure on Eli...they win. That will be the key

I have no faith in New England's defense.

Its one of the worst defenses I have seen this season (along with Green Bay & New Orleans).

brady and bill b beat up on peyton many times , i forget the actual record , sometimes when you beat up on the older brother , the younger brother grows up to be bigger , stronger , tougher , and better in the big spot and take joy out of beating up the neighborhood bully time and time again

not saying that it won't happen, but Eli was pressured and sacked all day long by the Niners and they still won

Just saw Cris Carter referring to this on Mike and Mike on ESPN.

He said he couldn't wait to see Edelman's salsa dance and brought up the subject when asked how he thought this game would fare.

He said,"Belichick better have an answer for Cruz other than Edelman!"

I still dont know which side I am going to play. I am leaning the Giants though but want to do more research.

CMJohnson is right.....to an extent. The PATS D has stepped up lately. I wouldn't call it the "Step Up of 06'" that the colts put on, but they have improved their play as of late.

Now.......the other side of the coin. Look back at how many calendar days its been since New England has faced an offense with, keywords here MULTIPLE+TALENTED options (i.e. top notch QB, WRs and running game).......and NO, Denver nor Baltimore fit that description IMO. From whatever date you come up with, it will be a looooooong time from THAT POINT to February 5. Too long for me !!

I'm dishing up a FULL HELPING of + 3.5 in case logic starts to prevail. Remember, this one is in a dome, 3 is VERY key.

NYG + 3.5

Gimme Belichek and 2 weeks to figure something out. The Giants cant run for shit, and thats gonna cost them. Bradshaw and Jacobs arent fast enough to get outside and the strength of the NE defensive line is in the middle. So without having to worry about the running game, I'm sure Cruz will see a little more attention......

You had Pats -6 juiced to like -140 as one of your square ass 17 different plays on the AFC championship game.

Keep chasing your money with public plays, and sucking on Belichicks nuts

not trying to bash Eli, (as a matter of fact id like to thank him for a money line win) but the fact is they might have been sitting home superbowl weekend if not for being handed easy points off turn overs

Giants might win, but...

But honestly... Ravens D is much better than the Giants D ....

Ravens did matchup very well against the Patriots.... I'm really lookin forward to see the TE's crushing Giants LBs ... forget the pass rush... brady will throw fast........

Pats 28 - Giants 24 ....
